Control device and method for monitoring the safety of manipulators

摘要

The device has a safety device communicating with another control device (20.SC) of a manipulator of a manipulator arrangement and superordinating safety monitoring of robotic manipulators in the arrangement. A part of robotic manipulators is configured by a user and another part is configured by a manufacturer, where manufacturer-configured part (10.SC) ensures a basic determined safety functionality of the manipulator independently of the user configuration of the user-configured part. The user-configured part ensures overall safety monitoring of the arrangement. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a method for individual safety monitoring of a manipulator (2) a system for individual safety monitoring of a manipulator.
